Our first title is a vanity project/ microphone check. I have been cast in the roles of: Narcissistic Poet (#1?), Recruiter, Designer, Creative Director, Editor, VP of Sales & Marketing, Project Manager and General Laborer – and I intend for this to be a labor of love. I’m excited in a backhanded sort of way. Looking forward to submissions.
The project:
A concepted chapbook to include mainly a collection of my poems, as well as a section of accepted poems submitted by various writers (see guidelines below). We will also be asking for photography or other visual art submissions later, but until the concept has been fully developed, I cannot give any direction, and will be unable to judge the suitability for this project.
Your Mission, should you choose to accept it:
Submit your poem(s) up to ten lines in length on the theme of “warnings” (interpretation open) copy/pasted in the body of an email to: gunpowdermouthpress@gmail.com by Jan 31st.
Payment for your Work:
Nothing, mostly, except possible future fame and fortune.
If your work is accepted in this publication you will receive 2 contributors copies. Since this is our first title, our run sizes are only estimates, and demand is unknown. Depending on the number of additional copies (if any), you may receive more at a later date.
Notes/ Additional Info:
- At this point, it appears that space will be extremely limited, but since the concept for the finished book is still primitive, this could change.
- Publication is tentative but will likely be the end of March (see above), although I will update as we move forward.
